Description
Summary:A test platform was developed to investigate the performance of aero-engine combustor by the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma assisted combustion (PAC) in the simulated maximum condition. Conventional combustion experiments and plasma-assisted combustion conditions were conducted to study the effect of PAC on the performances including average outlet temperature, combustion efficiency and pattern factor under four different excessive air coefficients five different voltages. The comparative experiment shows that the combustion efficiency is improved after PAC compared with the normal conditions, the combustion efficiency of PAC increases 2.31% in the fuel-rich condition when Up-p is 40 kV. The uniformity of the outlet temperature field is also improved after PAC, the decrease of the pattern factor is more than 5% in the fuel-rich condition. These results offer certain reference value for the future application of PAC in aero-engine combustor and improving its performance.
